For each integral below, write down the technique you would use to solve it (e.g., substitution, integration by parts, trigonometric identities, trigonometric substitution). If you use substitution, state your u u clearly. If you use a trigonometric identity, write it out before proceeding. ∫x2 sin(x) dx \int x^2 \: \sin (x) \: dx ∫x lnx dx \int x\: \ln x \: dx ∫e2xcosx dx  \int e^{2x} \cos {x} \: dx  ∫sin4(x)  dx \int \sin^4 (x) \: dx ∫x9-x2 dx \int x\sqrt{9-x^2} \: dx

Suppose that you have a barber that you see regularly. You pay him $8 and he cuts your hair on the first Tuesday of each month. You like each other and both hope this arrangement can continue many years into the future. What would Aristotle be most likely to say about the relationship between you two?

The Spanish government in Madrid, threatened by the potential breakup of their country and the loss of a major economic hub in Barcelona, nullified the referendum and arrested the region’s political leaders. Though many think of Europe as a static entity with defined borders, the Catalan independence movement is one of a handful of efforts to redraw those borders. Some movements are entirely peaceful; Scotland held a referendum in 2014 on whether it should leave the United Kingdom. (It decided not to.) Others are more volatile; for years, violence rocked the Basque region in France and Spain. While several of those movements aim for independent territory, many simply seek more autonomy.
